What does the Job Involve?

What are the Hours?

We usually can schedule around your church, family, and school activities (sports, band, etc.). But, we are open 365 days a year so you will have to work some weekends and holidays. Typically new employees start out at 2-3 days a week and average 12-15 hours. More experienced workers can select up to 4 (even 5) days a week but they rarely work more than 32 hours a week.

When school is “in session” the cinema is open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 but most employees go home by 8:30 On weekends (Fri & Sat) the cinema is open from 1:30 to 11:30.
